starter moter may have stuck on when started and burned it self out, try bump starting it, if it starts its the starter, if not its one thing out the way

Less.

Will try bump starting it thats my first thought or the alternator

alternator wont stop it starting if the batterys ok (it only charges the battery)

Get something with a long handle and hit the starter motor, makes it work.

does it make a ticking sound when trying to tun over. you could try rocking the car in 1st gear if it's still engaged.

Less.

No not a ticking noise was more of a high pitched whine

Sounds like starter motor for deffo

belt it with your trolly jack handle and get someone to turn the ignition over at same time

Less.

Cahrged the battery and it started first time ran it for five mins,now the battery completely dead so looks like a duff battery or an alternator problem.

Weird started first turn of the key,shut it off then nothing bloody thing

I would check the battery voltage when the engine is running to see if the alternator is working.

Less.

Any idea what the voltage should be,the battery not go flat just not enough to restart the car,as charges up pretty quickly
